Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1887-12-30


After the announcement in THE STAR yesterday
afternoon that the suit begun in the name OF Miss
Bessie Hillyert to annul the marriage that took
In Baltimore week ago last Tuesday, had been
withdrawn or dismissed by plaintiffs counsel, the
whole story came out confirming the supposition
ventured by THE STAR that the parents Of Miss
Hillyer had become reconciled to the situation.
The marriage in Baltimore attracted much notice,
as 1t was runaway affair, and the young lady
OF the Controller Of the Currency. When the
young couple returned home, Miss Hillyer's father
az once took measures to undo the work OF the
Baltimore preacher, II possible. A suit was begun
alleging that the young lady had been induced by
fraudulent artince and Misrepresentation 10
marry. Mr.. Bulkley and members OF his family
denied such charges. The young couple were
brought together yesterday in the office OF Judge
Cady, on street, and there Miss Hillyer volun-
and declared thai She had married him of her Own
free Will After such an interview, OF course,
there was nothing to do but to withdraw the bill
Miss Hllyers family made the best of It and Judge
Hillyer at once recognized Mr.. Buckley as regu.
larry accredited son-in-law. Mr.. Bulkley claimed
his bride and took her to the home OF mutual
friend near DUPONT Circle.
A PRACTICAL INTERVIEW.
Dr. Bulkley and his Oldest son were engaged to-
day in looking for q boarding place where the
young couple may begin their married life. They
are at present at the residence OF lady, the
wife OF Captain Greer, OF the Navy, who Is a
friend OF both the young people, but is not their
intention to remain there longer than to-day.
When the two met in Mr.. CadyS of1ce yesterday
they were left alone, Senator Stewart and MIR.
Cady going into another room. The interview
lasted about half an hour, and when the Two
gentlemen were called in they had not only dc:
c1ded the main question, that they were going to
live together, but they had also arranged how they
were to live So when Mrs Bulkley announced TO
Senator Stewart that she had decided to go with
q ( N ia GIG Sfp6 q q al
that she had better return home until her hus-
band could make some arrangements for prOvid-
aThat is all arranged" !" they both exclaimed. and
SO the Older heads had nothing further 10 suggest
The half hour had evidently been employed In a
attributed to meeting Of two young people under
similar circumstances. Instead OF romantic signs
and fervent protestations OF undytng affection,
and the prosaic topics OF how they were to get
along. Mrs. Bulkley had evidently thought the
matter out during her separation from her youth
ful husband. He had also been engaged In thought,
and in consequence when the meeting took place
great deal was arranged in a short time.
SINCE THEIR MARRIAGE
there had been no communication between the
two young people until yesterday, with the excep-
tton OF one letter which Mrs. Bulkley wrote to her
husband with the knowledge and consent OF her
father. This letter was merely personal, and gave
no indications OF her views or the marriage. When
whether it expressed ner real sentiments or not.
He, however, said that 'it Bessie does not want
me- then Will ofer no objection and put no obsta-
Gle In her way" Mrs. Bulkiey was evidently in a
state OF mind upon her return from her trip to
Baltimore, and in her conversation with
her family she expressed herself In Q
In the form that was adopted. Her mind,
unlike the usual feminine mind, underwent some
change as the days rolled by, and 1t was necessary
that the interview should be held and some
positive position taken by the parties, either one
way or the other. The interview was held, as
stated, and the result was that the young people
agreed voluntarily to live together as man and
wife, The families OF both have cOncurred In this
arrangement and 1t is hoped by the friends OF both
that the END has now been reached.
The usual wedding trip will be postponed for the
present, as one OF the friends OF young Bulkley
explains, because the bridegroom has used all the
vacation time allowed him by the bank.
81 SHALL GO WITH GRASsIE."
Mr.. Cady, in talking this morning with STAR
reporter in regard to the meeting In his office
yesterday said that when he and Senator Stewart
returned to the room he asked Mrs. Bulkley II she
home where she had enjoyed her youth from her
father, who had given her everything that wealth
could confer, and she replied, said Mr.. Cady: 81
shall go with GraSSie." Afterwards she said: 81
fear the effect Of this at my mothers, but am
decided" Being asked about the suit, she said
'Thats no matter now; believe that Grassie has
told me what was true" MIR. Cady then said that
Senator Stewart soon left the 0hce, and the young
couple went away together.
Rooms have been engaged for Mr.. and Mrs.
Bulkley at the Windsor, corner New York avenue
and 18th street, where they will reside for the
